Tesla has provided a fresh update on the dedicated Semi truck factory it’s building in Nevada, sharing that major parts of the facility’s production line are now taking shape rapidly.

According to the official Tesla Semi account on X, the site now includes a fully completed stamping shop, while installation of advanced tools is underway in the Powder Coat and Material Conveyance shops. The post also featured a short behind-the-scenes video clip showing the new equipment and the busy buildout inside the cavernous plant.
This latest look follows Tesla’s initial sneak peek inside the facility back in April, when the company highlighted early steel framing and foundational work. The new Semi plant sits near Tesla’s existing Gigafactory Nevada, strengthening the state’s growing role as a hub for the company’s battery and commercial truck production.
When fully operational, the factory is expected to deliver up to 50,000 Semi units per year, helping Tesla meet growing demand for zero-emission heavy-duty trucks.

The Tesla Semi, which debuted in 2017 and entered limited deliveries in 2022, aims to transform the Class 8 trucking market by replacing diesel big rigs with an all-electric alternative. Tesla says its Semi will not only reduce fleet emissions but also slash operating costs for carriers.
“The Semi is not only more energy-efficient but also delivers better torque and lower operating costs than traditional heavy-duty trucks,” Tesla says on its official channels.
Recent test pilots seem to back up those claims. Earlier this month, logistics company ArcBest completed a real-world trial run with the Semi, calling its performance “impressive and reliable.” Major partner PepsiCo has also been putting the truck through its paces for the past two years, helping prove its capabilities under everyday freight conditions.
Industry analysts note that ramping up the Semi’s output could be a major step in Tesla’s push to decarbonize commercial transport. The heavy-duty trucking sector is a huge source of greenhouse gas emissions — but electrifying it remains a challenge because of range demands and charging infrastructure needs.
Tesla has indicated its Semi can travel up to 500 miles on a single charge, and it has invested in Megacharger stations to support rapid refueling for fleet operators.
With production tooling now moving in, fans and investors alike are watching closely to see if Tesla can stick to its timeline and deliver the volume needed to disrupt the diesel status quo.
Stay tuned as Tesla continues to share new milestones from its fast-growing Nevada Semi factory site.
